We are happy to have extended the collaboration with the Municipality of Amsterdam for the further development and use of the OTL (Object Type Library). 🌟

The municipality has once again given us the confidence to take the use of the OTL to a higher level. Both within the project and maintenance phase.💡

Congratulations to our fantastic team for their efforts and dedication! Let’s continue to deliver excellent results together. 👏

In the past year, BIM-Connected won the tender for the construction of an asset information facility for the Municipality of Utrecht; The way in which information about objects (assets) in the Public Space is provided.

As BIM-Connected, we are extremely proud that the municipality of Utrecht has chosen the vision to work with open data standards that disconnect data from applications. With this innovative solution, more efficient and sustainable information management is not far away. Together with Visma | iASSET, who are responsible for the Basic Public Space Management System, is taking the right steps with the municipality in the digital transition and data-driven working.

The strength of the Wistor platform for this assignment is:

👉 The platform is configured around the data (sets).

👉 Hosting data based on Linked Data

👉 Easy to use and apply open standards (NEN3610, NEN2660, IMBOR)

👉 Connect to the Common Ground principles of municipalities

👉 Automatically integrates and validates the data

👉 Viewer functionality

In the near future, several applications will be connected to the CDE, making more information available centrally and in a harmonized manner.

#Wistor #CDE #MakingDataValuable

Based on our submitted plan, we as international consortium (Dutch participants: Stam + De Koning, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), BuildingSmart Benelux and BIM-Connected) have been awarded the subsidy process by ITEA4 for the FireBIM project.

FireBIM aims to harmonize and implement the fire safety codes of participating countries into an open-source, web-based BIM platform for fire safety assessment that facilitates (inter)national fire safety documentation and compliance from the early design stages.

Our expertise: recording fire resistance requirements in an ontology, and then automatically checking 3D models (in IFC) based on the ontology. Our Wistor platform is used to make multiple use cases, user-friendly, possible in the coming years.

This initiative contributes to the United Nations (UN) sustainability goals.

Thursday afternoon September 14, the 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 launch event 🚀

Sign up, possibly together with your colleague, by sending an email to info@wistor.nl. There are a limited number of places available.

Wistor is a revolutionary platform for dealing with data in an innovative and modular way. With Wistor you configure the platform around your data (sets), instead of developing an application and adding data to it.

Give data a central role, think data-centric and create value from it.

Do you share our vision, or are you curious about the applications? Register for this event, find out more and join the conversation.

Program:
– keynote speaker
– vision on asset information management in the built environment
– demonstrations and experiences of Wistor applications
– (networking) drinks

Knowledge session 💡

As part of our two weekly knowledge sessions our colleague Fred Kloet invited Jeffrey Truijens, partner at VDNDP, at our office.

Topic: Data-driven Facility Management. How do we help our clients in data-driven decision making in the last stages of the asset life cycle? What could be improved and what can we learn from BIM and digitalization in earlier stages of the asset life cycle?

A good session to share knowledge between VDNDP and BIM-Connected.

#LDAC2023 has started with the Summer School.

This week our collegues Ellen van den Bersselaar and Lucas Verhelst are joining the Linked Data in Architecture and Construction community in Matera for workshops, presentations and discussions.

We are proud to sponsor this event with a use case for the summer school and two presentations.

It is possible to attend some of the sessions online, check out: https://linkedbuildingdata.net/ldac2023/summerschool/#programhttps://lnkd.in/etQF3b9p

Acceleration of digitization and chain optimization.

A broad coalition of 61 chain partners in the design, construction and engineering industry signed the new digi-Agreement until 2030 last week. BIM-Connected was one of them.

Until 2030, the digi-Agreement is a clear new step in making faster use of digitization opportunities in our industry. Accelerated digitization and data-driven chain collaboration are important preconditions for achieving social and individual challenges.

Read more about the digiAgreement here.

We are happy to be a gold sponsor of the LDAC Summer School and Workshop this year. LDAC brings researchers and companies together to collaborate on the further digitisation of the construction industry using semantic web technologies.

We will provide a usecase for participants of the Summer School and several presentations during the workshop. We’re proud to support this community and look forward to collaborating with experts in this field.

On Friday, February 24, we will share the results of the practical case ‘digital data exchange between client and contractor based on an Information Delivery Specification, use of Linked Data standards and IFC and the application of a data control portal’ on the #onlineFriday of digiGO BIM Loket.
